Hi,

this is Michael from germany. If you answer, please use simple english, thanks. My OS is Windows 7.

• I downloaded "biserver-ce-5.0.1-stable.zip" from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pent...e.zip/download
• I unzipped it
• I found "InformationMap.html" and opened it.
• I clicked on "Install Pentaho Software" and opened "Install with Your Own BA Repository" which opened "biserver-ce-5.0.1-stable/biserver-ce/tomcat/webapps/pentaho/docs/install_ziptar.pdf"
• I am processing installing with this document. I am at page 8 "Download and Unpack Installation Files".
• At 2) i have to download "biserver-ee-5.0.0-dist.zip".
• I was not able to find this version in the internet and since i have a newer version i tried to go ahead.
• At 3c) i have to start "install.bat", sadly in "biserver-ce-5.0.1-stable.zip" there is no "install.bat" included.

How to install biserver-ce-5.0.1-stable?

Thanks - Enomine

I made my own PUC theme. When I use Internet Explorer the style sheets are not loaded. When I select the url and the "Enter" the style sheet is loaded. I have the same behavior when I use the F5 button and also when I select the Onyx theme. With other browser I don't have any problems. I am working with Pentaho version 4.8

Any idea is welcome

I search the reason why I got this error and what I found that I think it maybe the causes of this problem is beacause of my Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.7. From the research I made, this Java version cannot read jdbc driver that I use. So I download other jdbc driver that I think it suitable for sql server 2000. But same error still come out. So, I change my plan. I try to change my JRE to other version. But the problem is even I already change JRE to other version, it still detect same version and same error still come out every time I test the connection.

Please someone guide me how to remove this error? I'm new in Pentaho & when facing something like this, I don't know how to solve it.

Hi,
I'm using Pentaho 5 and I can't remove an Analysis Data Source: it gives me an alert saying "Could Not remove: ...".
I can't even overwrite that Analysis Data Source creating a new one with the same Mondrian Schema: it gives me an error saying "XMLA Catalog already exists Mondrian File: ....xml".
This issue happened after I updated the Mondrian schema with a new version that probably was malformed.
Is there another way to remove that data source?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

i'm new to Pentaho, i've just finished installing the package biserver-ce-4.8.0-stable.zip on a Windows 2008 R2 Standard server, everything is ok BUT i'm not able to get the file pentaho.log, at all.

If i start pentaho from the batch script biserver-ce\tomcat\bin\startup.bat the file is created and then populated with log entries, BUT i'm running pentaho as a windows service and then the file pentaho.log won't even be created at the tomcat start. Every other log file is being created and working as intended.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Max

Hello,

I've been trying to configure the BIServer-CE for sometime now and for the life of me i can't get this server to start correctly so i can deploy and access it via the local host. Every other product works fine except this and without this my work is on hold since i can't deploy to it. I've changed my configuration a million times and would be grateful to anyone that can look at my logfiles (see attached) to see what i am missing.

The log files point to the port being in use but when i run netstat the port is free. I will appreciate any suggestion.

This is all the error i get on the page.
